I submit that this Bill should be withdrawn, the current Emission Trading Act be repealed and the Government of New Zealand take no action in Copenhagen.
The introduction of this scheme and the previous scheme will impose costs onto the NZ economy at a time of recession with no measurable beneficial outcome.
Whether the costs are imposed on the taxpayer or onto industry emitters, the outcome will be the same. New Zealanders will pay the price for ill-conceived legislation as any increased costs incurred by producers will be passed on to consumers.

I represent no organisation and submit as a voter and tax payer. I am opposed to the ETS concept completely, as there is little sensible scientific evidence that CO2 had anything to do with the 1 degree of warming we had last century.
From about 1998 we have entered a cooling period while the CO2 continues to climb. A sensible approach would be to stop the headlong rush to destroy our economy and instead set up a watching brief. a royal commission perhaps?

I am submitting this in my own name. I have no quantification of the number of people who would support my viewpoint, but I know that it is considerable and increasing.
I do not wish to appear before the select committee to speak on this submission.
My educational qualifications include a double-major in Accounting and Economics from Auckland University. I am now retired and have had more time to devote to this issue than most. I have had a life-long interest in mathematics and science and have better than a school-leavers competence in both subjects, sufficient to be able to weigh the arguments from both sides of the debate without having to rely entirely on the say-so of someone else.

Governance structure” will be set up to control taxes on CO2 emissions

Although the final Copenhagen agreement is largely being dismissed as a failure by both the mainstream media and climate skeptics, it does establish the framework for a global government which will control climate finances via taxes on CO2 emissions, as Lord Monckton warned on The Alex Jones Show this week.
Monckton said that the main goal of Copenhagen was to “establish the mechanism, the structure, and above all the funding for a world government.”

The IPCC is not a reliable scientific body. Grave concerns about the review process and content have been raised by respected scientific commentators and climate scientists, including IPCC expert reviewers - several of them New Zealanders!

Position
My submission opposes both this bill and the old bill.
Introduction
I am sure you are aware of the following information, but my submission requires a degree of background to put it into context.

Climate Change and Global Warming
I am writing to you as I am concerned that the direction Parliament is taking in promoting an ETS
that will cause enormous economic damage to New Zealand as a whole, it will drive many of our
citizens to poverty and bankrupt the New Zealand economy. From my letter below, you will see
that the evidence for global warming being man made does not exist.

Re ETS
I find it unbelievable that the western world can so readily and happily sign up to taxing itself to hell and back on the distorted orchestrations of IPCC.
IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THERE IS NO CORELATION BETWEEN MAN MADE CO2 IN THE ATMOSPHERE AND WARMING TEMPERATURES.

Dear Minister
I am writing this to express my extreme dissatisfaction with your performance as the minister in charge of climate change negotiations. The Prime Minister, when he was still Leader of the Opposition, answered a question of mine by saying perception is reality. My perception is that we are being governed by an incompetent bunch of fools.

Mr. Smith
All my working life has been in agriculture and I have witnessed many changes, however I think the changes to come will surpass them all. My plan was to semi retire by purchasing a 100 hectare block or there abouts to run enough stock to cover costs and a have bit extra left over for little luxuries, however having considered the policies you are promoting to combat global warming I have come to the conclusion that I would be committng economic suicide by continuing with this plan.
